PM Modi is on a tour of Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Arunachal Pradesh on Monday. Started projects worth Rs 5100 crore, including two hydro projects in Itanagar. Electricity will be made from the hydro power project. This project is special in many ways because coal, gas or petroleum do not have to be burnt to manufacture electricity. Neither smoke, carbon dioxide and pollution spreads. Green energy from this project can be used frequently.
Its use is not limited to just generating electricity. It proves beneficial in many ways, including fisheries, preventing floods and providing water for irrigation.Now the question is what happens hydro power project, how does it generate electricity and why is it considered necessary?
What is hydro power project, how is electricity?
If you understand in easy language, the work of hydro power plant project is to convert water energy into electrical energy (electricity). That is, electricity has to be made with water. Apart from this, it also proves beneficial in many ways. There are many parts of this project, such as dams, turbines, transfer, power lines and powerhouses.
How to make electricity from this entire projects, now we also understand it.
- The dam is built on the first river for hydro power project.
- In a way, the dam works to stop its energy by stopping water.
- Thick pipes are used to carry water to turbine from here, which is called penstox.
- The strong water pressure and velocity collides with turbine blades.
- With this pressure of water, turbine blades revolve and the generator associated with it starts its work.
- The magnet and wire coil in the generator rotates, thus electricity is generated.
- From here the power reaches the transformer and is transported to cities and villages via power line.

There are many benefits of hydro power project, not just electricity
Usually, power is targeted to make electricity through hydro power project, but through this entire project, not only electricity generation, but many benefits are given in many ways.
- Water for irrigation: The construction of the dam increases the availability of water for irrigation.
- Fisheries: Dam water is used for fisheries.
- Safe Environment: Coal, oil and fossil fractures are not used in this process, so the environment is protected due to lack of pollution.
- Flood Control: Dam plays a very important role in flood conditions and controls the flow of water.
- Source of frequent energy: Due to continuous available water, the source of energy does not end here.
- employment: Hydro power project especially works to provide employment to the local people.
- Tourism: Hydro power plants increase the scope of tourism by attracting tourists visiting that state.
